Can anyone tell me what bonite is made from? From the research I've done I've come across a few different answers, all of which say it's weak as shit, but the actual composition is varied in the explanations. As I was only a young fella during the 80s I basically had no idea what the go is with these boards, only thing I know is my second deck was a light blue McGill snakeskin, which sadly snapped about a month ago when my idiot brother ollied off a set of 4 steps and it broke just in front of the rear truck :( can't be too upset, it was a hand me down of his and he hurt himself in the process lol

Secondly, as a collector would you be leaning away from these OG decks, and are they the ones you see listed as XT?

Main use for me is as a display but I do set most up that I buy and ride infrequently (only coz boards are made to be ridden).

Merry Christmas yall, hope it's a nice relaxing time with your loved ones and if you're an aussie get a chance to tape up a tenno, and take a hattrick against your family and friends :)

My first real deck was a bonite Cab bat and dragons. Looking at that ad I didn't know the bonite decks weren't all maple. Truth be told that deck held up a hell of a lot better than the Santa Cruz Jason Jesse I got after it.
